This newly announced Nintendo Switch bundle arrives just in time for the holidays

Update: This console is now available for pre-order via Walmart! Its release date is just a couple weeks away on September 5th.

Up to this point in the Nintendo Switch's lifespan, the console has received just a couple exclusive bundles. You might recall the Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey editions which were released just before last year's holiday season, including one game and colored Joy-Con controllers for $300 each. Those versions have become a bit hard to find these days though, and with Christmas just around the corner now, it seems fitting that Nintendo has just announced a bundle which would look mighty fine under the tree this year — a Mario Tennis Aces bundle. It'll be on sale beginning September 5th.

Available exclusively at Walmart, this bundle will include two games and the Nintendo Switch console for $359. Though that's a bit more expensive than the previous bundles offered, you're getting a second game with this console instead of just one. With that in mind, the value is about the same. The games you'll receive are Mario Tennis Aces, of course, and 1-2-Switch. Opting for this bundle saves you $60 off what these products would cost you separately.

Both of the games included with this bundle are digital downloads. You'll receive two codes with the console which you'll need to enter at the eShop on the Nintendo Switch to download the games to your system. Considering the console only offers 32GB of storage, you'll likely want to pick up a microSD card soon to store additional data and games. You can pick up a card with triple the space your console has for under $35 right now.

If you have two gamers at your house who'll want to play, you can pick up a second set of Joy-Con controllers today for as low as $67 via Amazon. Every Switch owner will also want to check out this video game sale offering games like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for just $45 each.
